About the company
Adaptive Security builds security awareness training and phishing simulations designed for AI-driven threats like deepfakes and multi-channel social engineering. The company sells to businesses that want employees trained through realistic scenarios rather than static compliance modules. Adaptive Security positions the work as fast-moving and mission-led, with a heavy focus on building and shipping quickly. Public materials also show the company hiring across sales, engineering, customer success, design, and operations.
Locations and presence
Adaptive Security lists offices in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with many roles described as in-office. Public job listings also show some positions offered as remote or multi-location depending on function.
Palpable Score
64.0
/ 100
Adaptive Security offers a real set of early-career entry points across recruiting, customer success, and business development, plus a benefits package that is easy to verify. The main thing holding the score back is missing public detail on interview stages and limited visible proof of early-career progression outcomes given how new and fast-growing the company is.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company advertises roles that are typically early-career accessible, including Business Development Representative and Customer Success Associate openings.
  • Adaptive Security has posted an Entry and Junior level Recruiting Associate role with a 0–2 years experience requirement, which is a clear early-career pathway outside of sales.
  • The company’s wider open-role mix still skews senior in key functions (for example senior engineering and senior customer success roles), so entry-level access exists but is not the core hiring majority.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company publicly lists a concrete benefits overview (100% covered medical, dental & vision, unlimited PTO, commuter benefit, and a learning and workstation budget), which reduces guesswork for candidates.
  • Adaptive Security role summaries on major job boards explain what the job will involve (for example outreach responsibilities in BDR roles and onboarding and troubleshooting in Customer Success Associate), but public listings do not consistently spell out interview stages or timelines.
  • The company shows pay transparency in some early-career hiring (for example a Recruiting Associate listing with a published salary range and “plus stock”), but that level of pay detail is not consistently visible across the broader set of public job ads.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company advertises an “unlimited budget for workstation + learning,” which is a tangible support lever if managers encourage its use for juniors.
  • Adaptive Security’s public hiring narrative includes mentorship and coaching language from team quotes, but public job materials do not describe onboarding plans, ramp milestones, or manager 1:1 cadence for early-career hires.
  • The company’s sales and recruiting roles describe working closely with senior leaders (including founder or leadership collaboration in go-to-market work), which can accelerate learning through proximity, but the support structure is not documented.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes a strong baseline benefits package for early-career stability, including fully covered health insurance and commuter support.
  • Adaptive Security lists “competitive salary + meaningful equity” on the careers page and some public early-career listings include a salary band plus stock, but many public postings do not show compensation ranges, which caps confidence.
  • The company includes practical day-to-day support (meals and office snacks) and a learning budget, which materially improves the real value of offers for juniors in expensive cities.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.0
/ 20
  • The company is recently founded (public materials cite 2024), so there has been limited time for visible promotion cycles and 12–24 month retention patterns to show up at scale.
  • Adaptive Security has a small public review footprint on Glassdoor, which limits what can be verified about progression, manager quality, and early-career retention outcomes.
  • The company’s LinkedIn hiring footprint suggests rapid growth and ongoing hiring, but public profiles do not provide enough aggregated early-career promotion evidence to score outcomes higher.
